the human brain wasn’t made to remember this many passwords

maybe all pakistanis are repressed bc there’s no casual way to say “I love you” in urdu so we literally don’t grow up hearing that from even our parents

proud of my gouache paintings so far this year

My sketchbook is about to be filled up. What are your fave sketchbook brands? 👀

I love the looseness and the graphic shapes and strong lines midcentury artists use in figure drawings/character designs but I just can’t keep to capture it in my own art. I’m still constantly fighting the part of me that falls back on realism 🤦🏽‍♀️

sketchbooks are meant to be used and not seen

True wotsits enjoyers know they’re best when they’ve been left out for a few hours

I filmed a big rant today about how artists are being forced to diversify the things they’re doing/their income stream to cope with the struggles/uncertainty in the industry and then spent all day trying to film “content” so really the problem is me

Choosing to monetise your hobbies is one thing and being forced to commodify yourself and every part of your life is another. Personally I don’t want to be a brand, I want to be a human and an artist.

today’s prompt for mermay was “atlantis” so of course I had to give it a shot!

For today’s #mermay I’ve redrawn an older piece 🧡

I’m thinking about go lightbox expo… I think I could make it work… anyone want to split the cost of a hotel with me? 😭

Time for a feel good story: back in 2020, I really focused myself towards art again. and that’s when my art book obsession began too. one of the first books I coveted was the princess and the frog art book. but it was out of print and a used version of it was something like £180
